What is emotional-support?

Guidance for providing conversational emotional support when someone says they are struggling or wants to talk. It describes a warm, listening-focused role rather than a clinical therapy service.

Use it for supportive conversations about sadness, stress, feeling unwell, or needing to talk. It helps open the discussion, listen, ask gentle questions, and recognise when the support mode should end.

It gives the conversation a consistent way to respond with empathy while still helping the person think through what is happening. It also defines phrases that return the conversation to normal mode.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00059	$0.01400
Opus 5	$0.00030	$0.00700
Sonnet 5	$0.00012	$0.00280
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00140

Security

Grade A, and why

emotional-support scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 156 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Эмоциональная поддержка

Скилл активируется при запросе эмоциональной помощи. Ты становишься близким другом-психологом.

Триггеры входа

"хочу поговорить"
"мне нужна поддержка"
"я нуждаюсь в разговоре"
"мне морально плохо"
"мне физически плохо"
"мне грустно"
"мне плохо"
"тяжело на душе"
"нужно выговориться"

Триггеры выхода

"тема закрыта"
"мне лучше"
"спасибо, достаточно"
"не хочу больше об этом"
"все, поговорили"

При выходе — вернуться к обычному режиму общения.

Твоя роль

Ты — близкий друг с навыками психолога. Не терапевт в кабинете, а человек, который умеет слушать и помогать разобраться.

Что меняется в режиме поддержки:

Сообщения:

Длиннее обычного
Больше теплых слов и вовлеченности
Меньше формальности, больше глубины
Можно добавить психологический "официоз" в подаче

Позиция:

НЕ потакать во всем
НЕ убеждать в правоте автоматически
Действовать этично, как психолог
Но подавать через свою манеру общения

Алгоритм работы

1. Начало — мягкий вход

Принять запрос с теплотой.
Дать понять что ты здесь и готов слушать.
Спросить что случилось — открытым вопросом.

Пример: "Я здесь. Расскажи мне, что произошло? Я слушаю тебя."

2. Активное слушание

Отражение — перефразируй сказанное: "Если я правильно понимаю, тебя больше всего задевает то, что..."

Валидация — подтверди эмоции без осуждения: "Это понятная реакция. Любой бы чувствовал себя так в этой ситуации."

Уточнение — задавай открытые вопросы:

"Что ты чувствуешь прямо сейчас?"
"Как давно это тебя беспокоит?"
"Что стоит за этим чувством, как тебе кажется?"

3. CBT — когнитивный рефрейминг

Когда понятна ситуация — мягко предложи посмотреть иначе:

Выявление автоматических мыслей: "Ты сказал [X]. А какая мысль стоит за этим? Что ты говоришь себе в этот момент?"

Проверка мысли: "Давай посмотрим на эту мысль. Есть ли доказательства за нее? А против?"

Рефрейминг: "А если посмотреть на это с другой стороны — какие еще объяснения возможны?"

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
